This book blew me away. I was so immediately in love with these characters, the central theme, and the writing style.
You get gently carried through the story, weaving in and out of these women's lives/minds/favor.
The relationship these three women have to each other and Islam being the foundation of the multitude of storylines was so beautifully and seamlessly done. I feel attached to them, like I can just pick up the book later and check in on them and magically their will be more chapters so I can catch up with them. This book has magic in it.
Truly beautiful work. The style feels like the style Sally Rooney attempts at but actually accomplished. Highly recommend the read.
